A word about stress
It is estimated that 70% of disease is stress related. Short term effects of stress include insomnia, headaches, recurrent infections to name but a few. Long term effects of stress are more serious. Regular reflexology and / or Indian Head Massage may alleviate the effects of stress by inducing deep relaxation and are both therefore an excellent form of preventative medicine. Relaxing and calming, your body’s own healing mechanisms are triggered to begin a holistic approach to wellbeing.
